Kickstarter

Rolling back the shoulders

a scratch on the head
Feet hit the ground
sliding warmth out the bed
Gone body and mind
tensions felt yesterday
Refreshed and rinsed off
possibilities make way

Flicking on the kettle
spare time for a kick
Learnt by yourself
appreciation is the trick
Outside rouses on
breathing zest everywhere
Walking free with a smile
and that fond friendly flair

Can I do it?

I tried once before

- couldn't really do it.

Like the plague, I avoided
- as they all knew it.

Told to keep going
- at most I didn't feel it.

So left it all behind
-  allowing them to steal it.

Knock backs happen
-  doesn't mean I blown it.

Like a tree, I stand
- they see it when shown it.

I don't stop now
- never think of it.

Reaching the very end
- alive and I love it.

new age healing

drinking water from the tap

avoiding carbs as not to get fat
started lifting to get strong
my heart is heavy but not for long 

Unfortunately, not this time.

Scrolling through pages, 

adverts, new roles.
I apply here and there,
to reach new goals.
It seems pretty endless,
and not much to taste.
The responses I get,
feels like education was a waste.
The experience you want,
I can't just get from a book.
Time to switch off,
feeling numbingly shook.
An opportunity - soon to arise?
I'll prove my worth,
in every disguise.
